GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING: An Empowering Collection of Sermons, Sayings, Status Updates and Tweets For REAL LIFE And EVERYDAY LIVING!

Over 10 years as a pastoring, 20 years of ministry and social justice and a lifetime of caring about people through service, I have been capturing and captivated by words. I have always been overwhelmed by the fact that people have always taken things that I’ve said and written and used them in their lives. To have words come back at me has always been powerful, so going into this new year, I finally decided to take the sermons that people talked about Sundays after they were preached, the sayings that have followed me for years, the status updates that have garnered hundreds of comments and likes and the tweets that have been re-tweeted by many and assemble them in one book.

The book, released on 11-11-11, is about being able to have something in your spiritual, emotional and empowerment arsenal that can grab you and hoist you into clarity. Some of the sayings are two words and some of the sermons are pages, but the end result is you being able to find something that changes your mind and your perspective and helps you continued on the course of greatness that is the intention of your LIFE! You are not here by accident or incident. You are here on purpose and it’s time that you get off of the slow-moving, hard-working thing that got you to where you are today and do something at your next level!

ENVY: The Darkest Shade of Green

In Kevin Taylor’s previous novel, JADED, we met Joshua Arrington Knight and Elijah Monroe in a love story that author L.M. Ross (“The Long Blue Moan”) said, “Will change the way you see men, gay men, black gay men and even men and love. This is a masterpiece.” Now, 5 years after they have come together, we go back into the story of the couple that dug their way out of jadedness and succeeded into love. But years later, did they make it? Are they still together? Did Joshua’s best friend Carlton, who moved to Europe with his professor-partner Donovan make it and discover that love and survive struggle? DIVE INTO THE STORY OF ENVY and return to their story and meet young Kamal, who is young, beautiful and entitled and who’s willing to do whatever (and whomever) it takes to have the kind of career that he sees Eli having!
